Frommer's Review
Opened in 1997, The Ritz-Carlton's first Japanese venture rejected the grandiose marble lobbies popular in Japan favored at the time, choosing instead a small and intimate one, done in old-world style with overstuffed sofas, 100-year-old Persian carpets, Italian marble fireplaces, stunning flower arrangements, crystal chandeliers, antiques, and museum-grade landscape paintings and portraits from the 18th and 19th centuries. Unique standouts include The Bar with its 110 kinds of whiskey, 50 kinds of cigars, and live music nightly; La Baie, rated by many as Osaka's best French restaurant; a very popular afternoon tea served in the lobby lounge with live classical music; and a health club free to hotel guests. Stylish rooms -- located from the 24th through 37th floors and among the largest in the city -- offer panoramic views, especially from deluxe corner rooms, as well as goose-down pillows and comforters; terry robes; and 37-inch TVs with hook-ups for video cameras, iPods, and computers. Spacious marble bathrooms feature lit magnifying mirrors, separate areas for the shower stall, tub, and toilet, and two sinks.
Facilities: 4 restaurants; 2 bars; lounge; health club w/gym, 20m (66-ft.) indoor lap pool, and indoor/outdoor whirlpools (free to hotel guests); spa w/dry and wet saunas and baths (fee: ¥1,000/$8.35/£4.20); concierge; small business center; aesthetic salon; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms
